QUEBmm2c 1

Québec is a key player in the fight against climate change in North America. The government of Québec was the first to impose a price on carbon in its economy and is a founding member, together with California, of the largest carbon market in North America. Through this green growth market mechanism, the government helps companies, municipalities and citizens make the transition towards a low-carbon world. The revenues generated by the carbon market will enable Québec’s economy to grow in a sustainable manner. Québec’s 99.5% clean electricity grid will attract investments in clean technologies, contribute to the electrification of transportation, and reduce the carbon footprint of citizens and businesses.

Through its actions, Québec demonstrates that fighting climate change provides a unique opportunity for innovation that will also contribute to our children’s future.
